pat testing questions

Today I failed my pat testing exam. I was presented with questions not covered by the tutor during the course and cannot find clarification in the iet book I was hoping to get some answers.


A few of the questions where about rcd sockets outdoors, the maximum trip time and trip values as well as minimum and maximum amperage.


Another 2 was about test probe leads, the question answers had options like bs codes and gs38 and also voltage ratings like 20-200v ac and 20-200v dc. But none of this was covered in the course.


I failed by a single mark. Had these been covered or easy to find in the book I would have passed. Can anyone offer clarification in relation to this information?

    It is indeed open book and multi choice. So what is the rcd amp values for oitdoor sockets? 32a? 


    Thanks for the answers guys. 


    There is your problem, you didn't understand the question. 


    Did you try you do the course and the exam on the same day?


    Did you swot up before going on the course by at the very least reading the IET book?
